Stainless steel, to make it safer, try wrapping Vet Wrap or seagrass around it to make it harder for your bird to get at.

Lowes or Ace hardware will have a better selection of SS screws than most other places & if you plan to use a power drill to drive the screws, be sure to pilot drill your screw holes or you will twist out the Phillips heads, SS heads are a bit on the soft side for Phillips drive bits & it's best to go pretty slow when driving the screw, but too slow can snap off a head...snap one or two & you'll understand what I mean.....good luck with your project.....
